NI Water has started work on a new £2million water pipeline in County Tyrone, which will improve the local water infrastructure, as well as the security of the water supply in Cookstown and the surrounding areas.
The project will involve the construction of 11kilometres of water pipeline from Carland Service Reservoir (off the Annaginny Road, Dungannon) to the Sandholes Road in Cookstown. NI Water said the pipeline will be particularly important during future winter periods, when the infrastructure may be vulnerable.
The first section should be completed by the end of November 2015 - Bill Gowdy Director of Engineering Procurement, NI Water said further updates would be available as the scheme progresses.
NI Water’s project delivery team for the work is Dawson WAM and McAdam Design-the entire pipeline is due for completion in summer 2016.
Regional Development Minister Michelle McIlveen welcomed the upgrade. She said:
“This major investment by the Northern Ireland Executive is good news for many customers in County Tyrone by improving the local water supply infrastructure and security of supply. It will also provide a welcome boost to the construction sector with the contract for the work being won by Saintfield-based firm Dawson WAM.”
